Snow Clearing in Selkirk High Street

Things are getting back to normal now that the diggers are out to clear the high street.
Check out our icicles!...

The longest man-made icicle measured 11 metres and weighed over 26 tons. These ones have a long way to go.

Battle Of Philiphaugh

TheTamshee: was well impressed with the audio player supplied by the good ladies at the Waterwheel Cafe. The history of the Battle Of Philiphaugh, where James Graham the 1st Marquess & 5th Earl Of Montrose was defeated by the Covenanter forces lead by Sir David Leslie
was a stark reminder that the bloody battlefield is now the home to Selkirk Cricket Club and Selkirk Rugby Club, along with a small number of cottages along the way.
